@mlcampbe That did it! Thanks! I did edit the ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
according to the Configuring the Raspberry Pi instructions. It didn’t mention the desktop disappearing though.

RE: Black screen, no desktop after pm2 stop MagicMirror
@bhepler if I quit or minimize MM, should I expect to see the rasbian desktop?

RE: Multiple instances of MMM-DarkSkyForecast with MMM-pages
@justjim1220 Yes! This is what I was after! Thank you! Your repo, https://github.com/justjim1220/MMM-DarkSkyForecast2, doesn’t include the icons directory so I had to copy from
MMM-DarkSkyForecast
, symlink didn’t work. -
RE: Multiple instances of MMM-DarkSkyForecast with MMM-pages
@justjim1220 Since I have such small screen real estate I wanted page 1 to exactly mirror page 2 except for the hourly vs daily forecast display, and then have MMM-Pages auto rotate the pages. Seems this might not be possible…

RE: Multiple instances of MMM-DarkSkyForecast with MMM-pages
@justjim1220
I’m trying to get 2 instances ofMMM-DarkSkyForecast
on 2 separate pages. Page 1 would display hourly forecast, page 2 would show daily forecast.I tried to clone a 2nd copy of the module to a separate folder
../modules/MMM-dsf
and then rename the../MMM-dsf/MMM-DarkSkyForecast.js
to../MMM-dsf/MMM-dsf.js
and then configure the pages module as follows{ module: 'MMM-pages', config: { modules: [ ["calendar", "MMM-DarkSkyForecast"], ["calendar", "MMM-dsf"] ], fixed: ["clock", "MMM-page-indicator"]} } },

RE: Black screen, no desktop after pm2 stop MagicMirror
@bhepler I’m able to get the terminal up with
ctrl + alt + t
, I think it may have had to do with the mini wireless USB keyboard/mouse combo I was using. Worked after using a more traditional wireless keyboard. So I have the terminal up butpm2 stop MagicMirror
behaves the same as when I issue the command via SSH, just a blank screen and no desktop -

@bhepler
Ctrl + Alt + t
opens the file menu, just like if I only pressedalt
. I see the switcher withalt + tab
but only MM listed -
Multiple instances of MMM-DarkSkyForecast with MMM-pages
I have a 4" 800x480 screen, there’s not much real estate so I have MMM-pages set up. I want to have MMM-DarkSkyForecast on a few pages with different options, ie hourly forecast one page 1 and daily on page 2, and set MMM-pages auto scroll.
{ module: 'MMM-pages', config: { modules: [ ["calendar", "MMM-DarkSkyForecast"], ["calendar", "MMM-DarkSkyForecast"] ], fixed: ["clock", "MMM-page-indicator"]} } },
I’ve tried to clone to a different folder and rename
MMM-DarkSkyForecast.js
to match... ["calendar", "MMM-dsf"], ...
I have 2 configurations in
config.js
but in both instances the 2nd page doesn’t show the MMM-DarkSkyForecast module. Is what I’m trying to do possible? -
Black screen, no desktop after pm2 stop MagicMirror
I have MagicMirror up and running on a RPi3b+ and a 4" HDMI touch screen. It autoloads MM on boot via PM2. I can ssh and run
pm2 stop MagicMirror
and MM exits but I don’t see the rasbian desktop, just a black screen. I can get the file menu viaalt
but there’s nothing helpful there. Minimizing works but it’s just a black screen and no desktop.ctrl + q
will quit but PM2 restarts MM a few seconds later. How can I get back to the raspbian desktop? I want to configure some OS stuff like other WiFi networks etc.
